Games Asylum: “If you were to line up screenshots of arcade-style shoot’em ups, it’s highly likely the typical gamer would struggle to name them all. The 16-bit era saw many, many, sci-fi shooters with sleek spaceships and starfield backdrops. Even now, games just as described appear on the digital storefronts on almost a weekly basis. With this in mind, NeverAwake successfully stands out from the crowd – it’s very distinct looking, with vivid art and a warped tone. It even manages to make the Cotton series seem normal by comparison.”
